Maybe useless to Adam for racing purposes, but quite useful to anyone else doing the swap. Two words: Fuel Economy I’d kill for a 6th gear right now, I had to drive to shannonville and back at 4000rpm
this is THE wangan machine, you better have nice aero cause this car actually needs it, attach shit properly my advice and dont tiestrap shit cause if your gona go fast its not gonna like it, sweet specs dude, keep it up
so as usual things are going slow…engine is still at Autoworx and they are taking forever…bahhh…
on the good side…I found a used t-56 transmission for sale for a nice $1200 which is more than 1/2 price off from a new one, and am picking it up tonight.
I have all the mounting parts in now, you can see the new custom driveshaft, that mates to the t-56 and to my stock r200 nissan differential, plus the aluminum corvette mounts…engine mill be mounted solid , which will be nice for response.
so once I get the friggen engine I can start to swap this stuff in
Not to clutter this up, but believe it or not, Seth is actually almost right.
There is an all-iron LS6, iron block, iron heads, etc. It was carburetted, and available in 1970.
The LS6 454 produced 450 HP @ 5600 RPM and 500 lb-ft of torque @ 3600 RPM. It has high compression pistons and rectangle port cylinder heads, along with a solid lifter camshaft.
Just GM recycling names. The LS6 used to be the old 7.2L 454.
You had LS6 Chevelles, Novas, Corvettes, etc.
Same name, but no similarities.
A 454 240SX … would be very cool, but that motor would be sticking out of the bottom, top and sides of the engine bay LOL
Can’t wait to see that thing.
